The Apache web server runs as a non-root for security reasons, any commands
you run from a script from the web server will run as the same user. You
want to run your vboxmanage commands as super user to have sufficient
privilege.
Refer to the 'sudo' command: http://linux.die.net/man/8/sudo
You should be able to configure it to allow you to execute the vboxmanage
command as superuser when running as the 'www-data' user.
